The military regime has established a series of strategic alliances with China, Russia and India prodromal the maintenance of power. The powers have an interest that the current situation persists because the military after their interests in Burma. When the Security Council are China and Russia so that the crisis in Burma is not discussed. L'India sfrutta le risorse di gas del paese e vende armi ai militari. Per mantenere il potere hanno creato un vero e proprio regime di paura. I Signori della Forza - bande organizzate sotto il controllo dello Stato - fanno servizio d'ordine. Chi si ribella viene pestato, caricato su camion e rischia di sparire per molto tempo. I diritti umani sono sistematicamente calpestati. Si assiste ogni giorno a una violazione delle libertà individuali con il bene placito della comunità internazionale. E' ovvio, quando non ci sono interessi contingenti i paesi "civilizzati" non fanno niente per fermare la situazione!
I nostri telegiornali sono stati invasi dalle immagini della rivoluzione zafferano. I monaci buddisti - più di 250000 - hanno deciso di non accettare more donations from the military giving a tangible sign of their opposition to the government. He joined the demonstrations and the opposition have the popular support. The Burmese society is first of all a company and Buddhist monks against the military have a problem. The grip of fear lately has become more dense. The military and the fear of the Burmese opposition leader was jailed. It 'took the fire cover in many cities. We'll see. If the monks go to the end, their voices can not remain unheard. A UN intervention is not only necessary but right. The major obstacle is that China wants to continue to exploit Burma's raw materials. The Communist Party cinese difficilmente permetterà una svolta democratica nel paese. Si rischierebbe di instaurare un precedente pericoloso riaccendendo la polveriera Tibet.
